I saw a suggestion that Murkowski should let Daines focus on his daughter's wedding, pairing her no with his paired yes. For all her spinelessness, it's the least she could do.

Marriage has a 50% chance to fail anyways. This is more important.

I think the votes are there. There was no reason to have the vote today and put it on a rush for a Saturday vote if they were not there. They could easily have had this morning's vote on Monday and the confirmation vote Tuesday if they were not confident. That would give them more time to work on the fence straddlers. I could be way off but I think that could be the case.

Wonder if her career will be in jeopardy

You think she’ll replace Alex?

McCaskill’s Husband Makes Millions Flipping Government Tax Credits

Husband used government program for poor to build own fortune

Since Claire McCaskill joined the Senate, her husband Joseph Shepard has made at least $11 million through a business that buys up tax credits awarded to Missouri affordable housing developers and sells them to high-income entities seeking tax relief.

Since Claire McCaskill joined the Senate, her husband Joseph Shepard has made at least $11 million through a business that buys up tax credits awarded to Missouri affordable housing developers and sells them to high-income entities seeking tax relief.

Shepard's company, the Missouri Tax Credit Fund, operates within the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), a $9 billion a year federal program that awards tax credits to developers building qualified affordable housing projects. The LIHTC program is designed for developers in need of cash to attract investors for projects by offering them tax credits.

Analysis by policy institutions and government investigators, however, has found the LIHTC program to be inefficient, with much of the money—intended for affordable housing—ending up in the pockets of middlemen syndicators who connect developers with investors, earning lofty fees from both sides.

Shepard plays the lucrative role of syndicator and has made millions off the government program.

Records available on the Missouri secretary of state's website show Shepard’s company acquired tax credits awarded to at least 57 different affordable housing projects in Missouri between 2006 and 2017. Together, the 57 projects were awarded $273.3 million in LIHTCs, a review of the state's tax credit database found.

High school clique of five 'mean girls' are sued for targeting a boy with false sexual assault allegations because they 'just don't like him'
A group of high school 'mean girls' have admitted to targeting and falsely accusing a boy of sexual assault because they 'just don't like him'.

A 26-page federal lawsuit was filed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the eve of October 3 - also known as Mean Girls Day in tribute to the 2004 cult classic - against a clique of five girls at Seneca Valley High School.

The boy's parents describe the clique as 'mean girls' who 'conspired in person and via electronic communication devices to falsely accuse [their son] of sexual assault on two occasions.'

Their son, referred to in the lawsuit as TF, was fired from his job at a local pool, forced to serve time in a juvenile detention facility, is now home-schooled and suffers psychological trauma after the teenage girls bullied him and later admitted to lying about their sexual assault claims.

'(TF) was basically being tortured in school by the other students and investigators, but the administration was only focused on protecting the girls who were lying,' the family's attorney Craig Fishman said.

'Once the allegations were proven false, they really didn't care one bit about TF and there has been absolutely no repercussions against the girls.'

His parents are now seeking unspecified civil damages against the girls' parents, the school district and the Butler County District Attorney's office.

The lawsuit, obtained by Trib Live, claims the first allegation came in July 2017 at a swimming pool where TF worked as a lifeguard.

Nothing will ever touch those threads.

I know... I use to wake up at night to check the Gruden threads but for a PF thread that got started Sept 2 and has over 14,000 responses, it's been probably the hottest thing on VN since Gruden 50 (IMO).

I've never really followed politics but I've been glued to this thread. Democrats are sick people. MAGA

Gruden threads would get opened and closed in two days. They were fun and more about people just yapping than an actual coaching search.

Just saw an article with the words "toxic privilege" in the title - apparently white privilege is now toxic privilege.

Oh boy can't wait to see what toxic privilege turns into.
